Bulldrek v3.0

Elldren

Do you have a baseball bat handy?

Elldren

Sal already knows this, but I have some serious heat issues with my machine. My solution is a box fan pointed directly at the open case. Another cause could be a failing boot disk or drive controller.

Elldren

SPICOLI!

Elldren

I'd also like to apologize, having dropped off the face of Bulldrek for the greater part of a year.

edit: I'd also like to apologize for reviving a thread that's been dead for a similar amount of time

Elldren

Have I been gone too long?

Elldren

Sorry... I've been more or less incommunicado for the past month or so, so I haven't posted either, to, well, anything.

Come on, what do you think I was doing when I wrote that?

Elldren

Well, all of our avatars are pretty representative of our actual faces. After all, yours is, Sal looks like Sam Eagle in profile, and I'm actually the feline reincarnation of Adolph Hitler.

Elldren

Didn't see that coming.

Elldren

Though far closer to Memphis proper than Ashland. Ashland is... out there.

Elldren

Germantown. I used to live in Sal's neighborhood, but have since moved closer to the C-ville line.

Elldren

Haven't we been over this before? It's Ed. You remember me, right?

Edit: Looking back, you sent me a PM with this same question 2 years ago. I can understand not remembering it.

Elldren

My issue with Steam is that it exists... so no Half Life 2 for me, unfortunately.

Elldren

Again, I'm here pretty much all the time, so if you want a tour just ask.

Elldren

the next day I'm just "the party of the second part" in some contract? Not to be too cynical, but that's essentially the case now; all of the rest of the "marriage stuff" is just ineffectual window dressing as far as government is concerned. Marriage is already a contractual agr...

No, but it's not necessarily a bad thing either.

Elldren

Because it's actually effective?

Elldren

Well, they aren't here much anymore, seeing as they're attending distant schools. I, on the other hand, am pretty much here all the time (or none of the time, depending on definition).

Boy... what a huge fallacious assumption on which to base a paradigm.

It's these conspiracy theorists that get me. Honestly, the anthropomorphization of vast societal trends only leads to fallacy.

Doesn't really matter, 'cause they're, you know, dead.

Elldren

Running on different definitions of "racial" are you? Further demonstrates why I hate the word.

And good taste. And good programming, for that matter

Like Fucking Åmål? 'cause that was a damned good movie.

I love you!

Elldren

Oh, it's fun. Especially when I can create a Dwarf Hunter named Bang, and go around shooting bears with a musket. That has to be the sweetest part so far.

Elldren

Hopefully it will appeal to my inner lesbian schoolgirl.

Elldren

Drink enough of them and you'll become fascinated by 'em, and most everything else. Like grates in the middle of the street, or matches. :D Ehh... the thing is, I'm like that anyways so, they actually have quite the opposite effect. I'm actually a hell of a lot more composed after a vodka&Red B...

No points. Like I said: novel

Elldren

Well... I settled on something a bit different. It's 1.5oz Stoli Vodka, 1.5oz Red Bull, 1oz. Triple Sec poured over cracked ice in a glass, add lime juice (about 1/4 lime of fresh squeezed) fill glass with orange-pineapple juice, and add a dash of the Rihaku. It feels like somebody is hammering on m...

I'm bored, sitting at home, and thought I'd pose a challenge for everyone: Come up with the best mixed drink using any of the following: Stolichnaya Vodka Triple Sec Orange-Pineapple Juice Johnny Walker Red Label Dry Gin Rihaku Sake (Junmai Ginjo-Really good stuff) Bacardi Silver Dry Vermouth Cranbe...

Elldren

Definately the Epi, yeah. My Bro recently got an Epiphone Les Paul Classic, and it has a really sweet tone, with very good range. Very playable, and very good quality on the better Epis. As far as amplification is concerned, you wouldn't even hear a 15W amp in the room I'm in. Always err on the side...

Elldren

I suppose it's just the type of music I listen to live (small Punk-Rock shows, outdoor folk festivals), but I hardly ever hear prerecorded sound at a live show. I guess what I'm trying to say is: there's not that much stuff, and anyway, that's what roadies are for. It's probably just as easy to lug ...

Elldren

Or, like most TV Dramas, it could be complete and utter drek.

Elldren

Look, I don't support the war in Iraq, for weapons of mass destruction or any other reason, but the notion that the war in Iraq is unjustifiable because we haven't gone to war with North Korea is absurd; the two cases simply aren't comparable in any way save that each country is mean and has bad we...

Elldren

Yep! I didn't vote this afternoon!

I have a problem with lip-synching. Sure, lip-synching well takes talent, but not nearly as much talent as actually singing the damn thing, and in my mind if you don't have the necessary talent to actually sing live you do not belong on a stage. There are plenty of other musical performers who have ...

Elldren

All this talk of easy, last minute costumery reminds me of my easy, last minute costumes.

Favorites from years past include: Gumby (that's T.F. Gumby, not the green piece of clay), Rincewind (of Discworld), Elldren (my longtime Battletech char), and Pimps at Sea (pimp pirates! yay!)

Elldren

Yes. Happy birthday, Mr. Cleese!

Elldren

I'm Rasiel. And yes, I'm also playing.

You could get a splinter from that 2x4.

Elldren

And a proper sword is safer to use, if you know how to use it, that is.

Serious Paul wrote:Here's another question, how do you respond?

I usually say no thank you, which is usually followed by a discussion in which I have to defend my nonbelief in their gawd. So what do you say?

I try to excuse myself before anyone can say anything, but otherwise apologise, usually with a simple sorry.

Elldren

Well, you're all intolerant. Nyah

No, no there isn't, really. Of course, I feel the very idea of basic human rights to be outright silly.

Elldren

Or just a guy, like any other guy, who happened to volunteer for the US Navy, for whatever reason. I personally feel that motive matters fuck all, the only time it's really useful is in acting and forensics.

It's also been claimed that he had contacts that were able to ensure he wasn't ever in the "really bad" parts of the conflict. When you're taking fire, you're in a "really bad" part of the conflict. Being anywhere in the conflict could well be considered "really bad." ...

Elldren

Oh, yes. I've observed that, done it myself sometimes. Most of the time I don't use a knife when eating, so it rarely comes up for me, and I usually don't think about how other people eat.

Elldren

Don't look at me. My playlist is full of Dropkick Murphys, video game tunes, and anime soundtracks. Huh... so is mine, but with a healthy dose of Liquid Tension as well. Get some Liquid Tension Experiment. You'll probably stop mid-workout to listen slack-jawed to some of the riffs Petrucci rips thr...

when in Europe, I ate like a European [with the fork in my left hand]. Not to completely derail the thread, but you mean that you eat with fork in right hand normally when holding a knife? Are you left handed? Just something I find incredibly odd, but I may have just missed it over the last 20 year...
